My daughters 86 TC's bullet proof paint job

I wanted something for her that can take beating, so I saw this rhino lined car from the weather channel "Storm Chasers". I found a guy to do it here for a killer price, so I went for it. It looks mean! I cant stop starring at it:)

Mine looked like that for a while while after getting a coat of primer sealer. I don't think I have any other comment than that. It was nice because it was different, but it looked unfinished.

This stuff is actually shiny and not dull. You really have to see it in person.

I negotiated a killer deal. To have the two dents done and the top half of the car was less than $400, and thats also painting the door jams and all. Heck, Earl Sheib wanted that much just to do the body work!

My goal was to built a car from the ss in my garage, and also make it cost effective for a kid to drive and possibly dent up. Not to pretty, but functional. I figure if she can learn to drive a big car thats stick, she will be able to drive just about anything.
